The right hand corner of my desk is purged.

You might be wondering why I would choose to purge my desk in sections. Well, it is a large desk and it has a LOT of stuff on it. Some of the clutter is masquerading as organization tools and the rest is stuff that can't commit. OK. It's not the stuff that can't commit. It's me. Once you see the pictures, you'll understand.

This is what the corner looked like before the purge. I can not tell a lie, this one took 30 minutes, but it was very well worth it.



Here is the corner of the desk after the purge! See all the dust bunnies? That brown is, you guessed it, the top of my desk!



And here is what left my office after the great corner purge. If one corner of the desk takes this long, I do have to wonder how long it will be before the whole office is done. I have committed to a pretty stiff schedule. Let's hope I keep my motivation!

I have an electric stapler, so why do I need a manual one?

And those implements of organizaton simply allowed me to put more stuff on my desk and not commit it to a spot out of eyeshot. They fall under the category of clutter catcher in my world, not organization tools. They delay decision making, which is the real barrier to uber organization.

And what is that blue and yellow tape? A kind soul informed me that it's tear off post it paper, so I'm going to have to put that back in my desk, not on it. Now that I know what it is, I'll use it.
